Special Effects hairdye is a semi-permanent, conditioning hair color that comes in a wide spectrum colors. They are non-animal tested. Professionals and non-professionals alike are using Special Effects dye to get the bright long-lasting results they need.

The swatches below are of each color on white paper. The links from the color names below go to a gallery of customer-submitted (thank you everyone!) photographs of the color results they got. Your results may vary, we highly recommend prebleaching for the most stunning end effect.

Special Effects hair dye is just $12.98 each. 1 bottle contains 4 oz of dye, the thicker and longer the hair, the more you'll need. Special Effects recommends not lathering on liberally but using 'just enough' to coat each strand. The graphics below are of dye colors put on white paper, photographed and made to look uniform.

Supply issues: Special Effects is out of stock of quite a few dyes, if a dye is out of stock with them (or with us temporarily) we will recommend a Punky Color dye below that may be close. Punky Color hairdye is excellent dye, and we usually have it in stock.

Mixer TonerA 'clear' shade thatlooks lavender in the bottle this is great to take yellow tones out of bleached hair.You must already have your hair at 'inner lemon rind' yellow for this or any other semi-perm toner to be able to neutralize the yellow.

This bleach kit comes with everything you need for highlighting/tipping/streaking, and comes with 2 applications of bleach. Contrary to what you'd expect from the name, you don't get blonde dye in this kit - just bleach =)

If you have currently processed or damaged hair, proceed with caution when bleaching. Really! I've overbleached my own hair before, and while it was a long time ago, it was VERY memorable.
